My favourite is Garzanti's Hazon. You can access the latter here, although to view the phrasal verbs, such as 'turn out', you need to register and to log in. They have also a good monolingual dictionary.

Well, to me all those translations sound clunky in that context except maybe for the first one (I'd rather use the preposition per, though), but even if you used that expression, you'd still need the verb sembrare IMO:

Whereas da/per come sono andate le cose non riesco a gestire tre lingue allo stesso tempo doesn't sound quite right to me, or at most I would understand that he doesn't manage to handle three languages because of some unfavourable event that occured in his life.

A conti fatti and in fin dei conti mean something like "after all" rather than "it turns out".

As for risulta che, I would use it only to talk about written documents, for example dal verbale di polizia risulta che tu stessi andando a 90 km/h in centro abitato.

Vien fuori che instead to me conveys an idea of astonishment when you find out something that was tried to be concealed, like in e praticamente vien fuori che suo padre ha quattro amanti!

The first one is in fact from Hazon, in the following example "as it (o things) turned out it was not he who..., da come sono andate le cose risulta che non fu lui a..."

The other two are clunkier also in my opinion but I added them to add variety. They are the translations provided by Oxford-Paravia.

Regarding the verb 'sembrare' I think that in colloquial usage it sounds probably more natural. However, given that all dictionaries give "risultare che" and "accadere" as the translations of the intransitive 'turn out' I have come to think that these latter are more adherent, since if something "turns out" it is a fact, not an opinion or an impression → 'sembrare'.

But really you should tell this to those lexicographers rather than to me. Ambasciator non porta pena!
